Tight end Dion Sims (Orchard Lake, Mich./St. Mary's), one of the top uncommitted Class of 2009 prospects in the Midwest, has scholarship offers from his top five choices for football -- Ohio State, Tennessee, Miami, Georgia and UCLA. He also has offers from Michigan and Michigan State.
Sims has basketball offers from Iowa, Penn State and Kent State. He is looking at those three as well as Illinois, Michigan State, Louisville and Syracuse.
Sims is leaning towards basketball at the next level but has definitely not ruled out football or giving both sports a try. Sims will likely attend the Michigan State-Notre Dame football game.
Sims was injured in St. Mary's first game of the season, sustaining a sprained MCL in his right knee. He has missed St. Mary's last two games, but expects to return to the lineup in the next two or three weeks.

Some of the Spartans' top targets attending the game included Detroit-Cass Tech teammates defensive lineman William Campbell and quarterback/athlete Thomas Gordon and St. Mary's (Orchard Lake, Mich.) tight end Dion Sims.

Quote:
"I liked the fans and the student section," Sims said afterwards. "Being in the middle of the field before the game was pretty cool."
Sims has been out of action since St. Mary's first game when he strained the MCL in his right knee.
"I have a doctor's appointment on Wednesday," Sims said. "We'll see how it goes. I'm hoping to play this weekend, and if not, the following weekend."
Sims is considering: Ohio State, Georgia, Tennessee, Miami, UCLA, Michigan and Michigan State for football, and a number of schools for basketball including Iowa, Penn State and Michigan State.

In East Lansing, Dantonio welcomed in over a half dozen prospects on official visits over the weekend. All had already committed to Michigan State except tight end Dion Sims (Orchard Lake, Mich./St. Mary's), but it may not be long until Sims says he too is a Spartan.
"I liked everything," Sims said. "It was a real good visit. It seemed like I knew everybody and I felt comfortable. I had a nice conversation with Coach Dantonio."
Sims said he might visit Miami Jan. 23, but if he does there is a chance the Spartans could run out of scholarships.
"It's a tough situation," Sims said. "They only have four spots left. They have guys coming in next weekend and if they say yes they can't just turn them down. There is a chance I might commit this week."

2. Dion Sims
Position: WR/LB/DL
Ht./Wt.: 6-6/230
High school: Orchard Lake St. Mary's
College: Michigan State
Best recruiting experience: Taking the visits -- official visit to Michigan State and unofficial to Ohio State. The food was great. Plus I knew a lot of the players at Michigan State. It was like a second home.
Worst recruiting experience: I didn't have one.
Would you like to see an early signing period? Yes, it would be cool.
Would you have signed early? Yes.
Why not U-M? I grew up a Michigan fan. I didn't have a problem with them. It seems like they didn't show that much interest in me.
